Many orators use Alcock's Porous Plasters
for throat and lung troubles. Few preachers es-
cape some affection of the voice, and many wear
fringe Of beard under the chin as protector
for The delicate organs of speech. The Rev. A.
A. Shesler, Of Hartley, Iowa, writes:
am Methodist minister, living in the north
western part of the State of Iowa. have been
using ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs for the last

Fishes Out of Water.

There are several species of fish which
are much more at home out of their
natural element than any species of the
human race are in water. The climb
ing perch (1ndbdS ScandenS) is re-
markable example found in Asia. This
singular creature appears much like
other perch, but is endowed with an
extraordinary power of leaving failing
streams, climbing the banks, and pro-
ceeding over dry land in quest of better
filled water-courses Hundreds of them
have been seen at distance of fifty or
sixty yards from pool Just abandoned,
and travelling, though the ground was
so rough that this distance must have
required sufficient muscular eXertion to
take them half mile over level ground.
Some writers even assert that this fish is
capable of climbing the rough stems Of
palm-trees. The fishermen of the
Gauges, who subsist largely on climb
ing perch, are accustomed to keep them
in dry earthern pans for five or six days
after catching, and they live this strange
life without discomfort. Science.
